OnePlus Buds likely to be launched in July this year: Here is what we know so far

Suddenly, a wave of truly wireless earphones has hit the audio segment in India. This month itself, several companies have launched TWS, including – Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme and Huawei. Xiaomi is set to launch another pair of truly wireless earphones soon and Poco too, has announced one such product. The competition will further heat up in July when OnePlus is tipped to launch its own pair, called the OnePlus Buds. 

The Chinese smartphone maker has been working on a pair of truly wireless earbuds for a while. Now, it is believed that the earbuds are set to be launched in July, alongside company’s new smartphone – OnePlus Z. The phone will help extend OnePlus’ presence in the mid-range segment. 

A new teaser shared by leakster @maxJmb, hints at the design of the OnePlus Buds. It confirms that the company will likely drop the Bullets moniker from this new line-up of products.

The design is similar to Apple AirPods. The teaser shows the buds housed inside a case with an LED in front -- possibly an indicator for charging and battery level. The earbuds are expected to come with advanced features such as touch controls, Google Assistant, and fast-pairing.
